Anyone who would write about [James] Forrestal's death in 2006 and
ignore completely the evidence contained in the Willcutts Report would
have to be very irresponsible, indeed. Enter the journalist,
best-selling author, and excommunicated Catholic priest, James Carroll.
His new book, House of War: The Pentagon and the Disastrous Rise of
American Power, is the first book published since the release of the
Willcutts Report that deals with the details of Forrestal's death at
any length. His sources are exclusively...three superseded and largely
discredited books. Worse than that, he gives great prominence to the
story clearly invented by prominent leftist columnist Drew Pearson
that in the throes of his breakdown Forrestal, hearing sirens late at
night, had run out of his house exclaiming, "The Russians are
coming."

Mr. Carroll offers a tendentious and morally incoherent account of how
the United States has become the new Rome, economically robust and
mighty in arms.
